During her years as a martial arts practitioner, she realized that people in Jilin were not familiar with fencing so she took up the sport.

After retiring from the martial arts team in 2010, she gave up the chance of becoming a coach in Singapore and opened the first fencing training club in Jilin province with a partner after receiving training at a course opened by the local sports bureau.
